Where Zip Code 34953 Is

34953 covers a large part of southwest Port St. Lucie, generally east of I-95 and west of the older central sections of the city. St. Lucie West is to the north, Tradition is across I-95 to the west, and Palm City in Martin County is to the south. Main roads include Port St. Lucie Boulevard, Becker Road, Gatlin Boulevard and Savona Boulevard, with quick access to both I-95 and Florida's Turnpike, which makes the area popular with commuters heading to Palm Beach County.

What the Homes Are Like

34953 was one of the fastest-growing zip codes in the country during the housing boom of the early 2000s, so a large share of its homes were built after 2000. Most are single-family concrete block (CBS) homes on the city's original quarter-acre-style lots, typically three or four bedrooms with a two-car garage. Many streets were built one lot at a time, so styles and ages vary from house to house.

A big draw is that most of these city-lot homes have no HOA, which means no monthly dues and more freedom to add a pool, park a boat or fence the yard, within city code. Newer builder communities and a handful of gated neighborhoods offer the alternative: amenities and maintained common areas, with dues.

Waterfront in 34953

Much of 34953 is dry-lot, but there are freshwater canals and lakes throughout, and a stretch of saltwater canal in the southeast part of the zip code gives some homes a route to the ocean. Streets along that stretch include SW Ann Arbor Road, SW Simms Court and SW Pier Court. Not every home that backs up to water has boat access, so check the listing's waterfront details and ask before you rely on it. See the ocean access homes and waterfront homes searches for more.

What to Check Before You Buy

  • Water and sewer. Many homes are on city water and sewer, but some still have a well or septic system. It matters for inspections and maintenance.
  • Roof age and wind mitigation. Homes built in the early-2000s boom are now at the age when many roofs need replacing, and roof age affects insurance.
  • Flood zone. Homes near canals and low areas can be in a flood zone. Check before you make an offer.
  • Vacant lots nearby. Some streets still have empty lots, so a new house could be built next door.
  • HOA or no HOA. Confirm which applies, and read the rules if there is one.

Financing a Home in 34953

Most 34953 homes work with conventional, FHA and VA loans. With no HOA dues on many homes, more of your budget can go to the mortgage payment, which can help you qualify. As a licensed mortgage loan officer as well as an agent, I can pre-approve you and show you the full payment on a specific home, including insurance and taxes, before you make an offer.
